The Flying Nun
Debut: January 01, 1967
Ended: January 01, 1970

The subject of this comedy was Sister Bertrille, a bright, exuberant young novice who brightened the lives of all at the ancient Convent San Tanco, situated on a hilltop near San Juan, Puerto Rico. Not the least of Sister Bertrille's attributes was that she could fly. How? Well, "when lift plus thrust is greater than load plus drag," any object can fly, including Sister Bertrille, who weighed only 90 pounds. Whenever a stiff wind caught the starched cornette worn by her order, off she went. These aerodynamics were not always pleasant. Theme Song Lyrics Who needs wings to fly? Certainly not I. I prefer to take upon the breeze. Follow any swallow that may please my fancy. I just close my eyes. Tiptoe through the skies. Long as there's a heaven standing by, Who needs things like wings to fly? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FLYING NUN/ABC/1967-70 Sally Field as Sister Bertrille (Elsie Ethrington) Marge Redmond as Sister Jacqueline Madeleine Sherwood as Rev.
